Seasonal changes in the microbial communities of the New Calabar Riverwater have been investigated. Analyses of the BOD, pH, salinity, oil and grease levels of effluents of industries sited along the river were also conducted. High hydrocarbon-utilizing microbial populations were found. The percentage of hydrocarbon-utilizing heterotrophic bacteria ranged between 0-98% and 0-68% in the rainy and dry months, respectively. Counts of hydrocarbon-utilizing actinomycetes in the rainy months ranged between 0-95% and 2-55% in the dry months. The hydrocarbon-utilizing yeast population ranged between 1-95% and 2-85% for the rainy and dry months, respectively. Rainy month values for hydrocarbon-utilizing mould population ranged from 0-17% while dry month values ranged from 0-47%.
